Creating a Culture of Innovation in your Library and Community

A webinar exploring how to grow and sustain innovation in libraries and in communities.

This event has passed.

We hear about libraries that are leaders in innovation, implementing ideas that keep the library growing and vital. Perhaps you have watched from the sidelines and wished you could kickstart some innovation at your library, but you're not sure where to start. Come to this webinar for an active and lively discussion on how to find innovative ideas, how to connect with the people to help make them happen, and how to get buy-in and support for your ideas. There is a lot to be learned from other libraries' examples and experiences.

If you have the time between now and the webinar, please watch the following video clips and think about why these ideas or projects are innovative. What are some of the qualities that come through the participants or the product? Be prepared to share your observations during the webinar.
